First, liver cirrhosis. Liver tumors usually occur on the basis of cirrhosis, so it is difficult to differentiate them. The differentiation lies in the detailed history, physical examination and laboratory examination. The development of liver cirrhosis is slow, with recurrence, liver function damage is significant, and the positive serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is often indicative of tumorigenesis. 　　

Second: secondary liver tumor. Compared with primary liver tumors, secondary liver tumors develop slowly and have mild symptoms. Most of them are secondary to gastric tumors, followed by lung, colon, pancreas, breast and other cancers, which often metastasize to the liver. It is often manifested as multiple nodular lesions, and the detection of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is generally negative except for a few cases of primary tumor in digestion. 　　

Third, extrahepatic tumors adjacent to the liver. For example, gastric tumors, upper abdominal high retroperitoneal tumors, tumors from kidney, adrenal gland, colon, pancreas and retroperitoneal tumors are easily confused with primary liver tumors. In addition to the negative AFP can help to distinguish, history, clinical manifestations are different, especially ultrasound, CT, MRI and other imaging examination, gastrointestinal X-ray examination can make a differential diagnosis.
